In a few of our previous podcasts we pointed out the negative impact of high levels stress and anxiety in our bodies and the importance of keeping them under control through adopting healthy habits and practices such as mindfulness and meditation.

However, wanting to start and keep good sleep hygiene might not be enough if we're stressing ourselves out about it.
